My life has never been the same since I met you. Your laughter filled my heart and your smile lifted my spirit. Without you I would never be whole again. That's why I love you.
7 years after graduation, the curse has been broken and the Somas have adjusted to normal life. Tohru was attending college during the time that the curse was lifted, therefore, she does not know the curse has been broken or that a special person is waiting for her return.
The rain was pouring faster now as three men walked into the woods. Kyo, Yuki, and Shigure were on their way home, back to their cozy house. No one spoke as they arrived on the door step and walked into the deserted house.
"You know it's lonelier without a smiling greeter." Shigure stated.
Kyo walked up to the top floor it had been 7 years since he had seen this house, since being confined once again in "that" room. They had all been summoned back and imprisoned in that large house. Once the curse was broken (they had been "let go") they were free to return to a normal lifestyle.
Kyo walked the one room at the end where the door stood open. A small breeze blew through the room as Kyo stuck his head inside. The room seemed barren even though all of the large furniture remained. A light layer of dust was frosting the room. He noticed a picture of him, Yuki, Shigure, and Tohru sitting on the dusty desk with a letter beside it. Kyo picked it up and heard the sounds of footsteps.
Yuki and Shigure emerged into the room, "So there you are, What's that?" Yuki pointed to the letter, Kyo was holding. "A letter" He opened it and began to read it aloud…
Dear Kyo, Yuki, and Shigure,
I am sorry to say that I am leaving today, the house has no meaning to me if everyone is not here. Loneliness has set into the house's walls. I do not wish to spend another hour here in this house alone so therefore I am leaving. I don't know when you will receive this letter but hopefully it will not be too late. I begin University on Monday and wish you were all here to help me move in my stuff, but I guess even some wishes can't come true.
I wish you all the luck with my heart. I will be staying with Rin until it is time for me to move into my new apartment. If you wish to contact me than I am greatly sorry to say that would be impossible, I am, from here on out, cutting my ties with the Soma's. I would not wish this sadness on anyone.
Kyo folded the letter and laid it on the desk beside the picture. "Well it seems that she finally became tired of us and the curse."
Kyo walked over to Yuki who stood emotionless, "Why are you surprised? You knew it would happen one day."
Yuki looked over at Kyo, "Yes but I would have never thought she would be the one to cut ties with us more the opposite."
Shigure walked over to the desk, "Well it seems that this is partly our fault as well, leaving her alone for a whole year, even after, you told her how you felt Kyo."
Kyo looked down at the floor. Yuki noticed it right away, "Well there is no use burning a hole through the floor with your eyes, let's clean this place up so we can get settled."
They walked down into the living area. Unlike Tohru's room, the rest of the house had a clean shine about it.
"Looks like she didn't want us coming home to an unclean house." Shigure said.
He walked back into his study and shut the door, Kyo went to the kitchen and began to make a list of things that they would need, and Yuki set down at the table and looked around. He noticed a book lying on the floor he reached down and picked it up. He noticed that the book was worn from being read over and over again, he looked at the cover and noticed the title, Common Curses and how to break them, inside notes were written franticly all over the pages. The notes talked about signs and other what-not about curses having to do with the Zodiac,
'Looks like she was busy while we were gone' he thought to himself.
Kyo came back into the room and noticed the title of the book Yuki was flipping through.
"Where did you get that?" Yuki looked up at him, "Tohru left it on the floor I guess. She doesn't need it anymore."
Kyo set down opposite of Yuki, "In a way I'm glad she left."
Yuki stared at him with amazement, "Now she can be normal, you know, not worry so much about us. She can spend time doing something for herself."
Yuki smiled he noticed that Kyo had become more understanding and caring since the curse was broken. They didn't fight anymore, or at least as much.
"So what did you find in the Kitchen?"
Kyo looked down at the long list he had made, "Well nothing she cleaned the kitchen really good and left no food to go bad."
Yuki laughed it was just like her to look ahead to what might happen if she left something undone. Yuki picked up his coat and walked to the door, "So how about we get those groceries?" Kyo got up and pulled on his coat, "Okay let's go."
